Scotland were left a little frustrated by only drawing their Nations League opener in Slovenia but would probably settle for a similar outcome when hosting Switzerland on Tuesday night . The Swiss showed why they are clear favourites to top this group when powering to a 3-0 away victory over North Macedonia and are as high as 14 in the world rankings, 28 places above the Scots.
However, it was 1-1 when these teams met at Euro 2024 and 12/5 for another stalemate is our initial Scotland vs Switzerland prediction .

Scotland vs Switzerland head-to-head record
Thanks to dominating their early encounters, Scotland still hold the upper hand in this rivalry, claiming eight wins against five defeats and four draws . In that most recent encounter in Cologne just over two years ago, Scott McTominay gave the Tartan Army a 13th -minute lead, but Xherdan Shaqiri equalised for Switzerland inside the half-hour mark.

Steve Clarke called it quits after a tame World Cup effort from Scotland, who were left to rue settling for a cautious 1-0 win over Haiti after subsequently losing to Morocco and Brazil .
Former Belgium defender Sebastien Pocognoli was appointed as his successor and his first game as head coach saw the Scots initially struggle to adapt to their three-at-the-back system against a feisty home side in Slovenia . However, a second-half turnaround saw the visitors dominate and create some clear-cut chances, without quite getting the breakthrough against top-class goalkeeper Jan Oblak.
Debutant Stephen Welsh said: “I don’t think many other keepers in Europe would make those kinds of saves as often as he did, but we need to look at the positives. We got into some really good areas and created chances, it’s just about taking them. It’s a decent enough start for us, but there’s also a lot for us still to work on and build on.”
The home team will be determined to end a run of three games without a goal, so 20/21 for both teams to score is worth adding to our Scotland vs Switzerland betting tips.
Switzerland form guide
The Rossocrociati have had a rock-solid side for some time now and they justified their lofty FIFA ranking with a fine showing at the World Cup . After picking up seven points during the group stage, Switzerland beat Algeria 2-0 and then knocked out Colombia on penalties before only succumbing 3-1 in extra-time to quarter-final foes Argentina .
Head coach Murat Yakin celebrated passing over five years at the helm with an authoritative 3-0 win away to North Macedonia , as Burnley midfielder Zeki Amdouni scored twice in Skopje after Remo Freuler had broken the deadlock. Switzerland are without the likes of Granit Xhaka, Breel Embolo, Ruben Vargas and Noah Okafor , but can still count on a whole host of experienced players who have proven themselves at a high level.
Amdouni had netted in two of his last three Championship matches for the Clarets against Wrexham and Derby before that weekend double and is clearly in good spirits. Looking at the Scotland vs Switzerland odds, 9/2 for Amdouni to open the scoring at Hampden has to be considered , especially if the hosts get off to another shaky start at the back under the new regime.
